I mean on their website it says: On May 1st, all applicants with a Delayed Decision status will be placed on our formal waitlist.
It doesn't say anything about R's.

Also offered spot on waitlist. DD since January. Does this mean no possibility for a decision on Friday?
I'm not positive but I think it's pretty significant! Just based on the fact that there seems to be a pretty high post-II acceptance rate and that includes waitlist acceptances.

finally OOS pre-ii R, last school
How do you know the acceptance rate includes waitlist? Did they mention this during interview day?

Waitlisted as of today. Interviewed 10/16, DD late November
Probably depends if people withdraw their As between now and then? Otherwise I feel like they would’ve just waited to send WL decisions? idk everything is thrown out the window this cycle, hoping the WL is smaller since a few people have already gotten post-II Rs

This got asked when I interviewed. Yes, it includes waitlist

I don’t think we have to based on the phrasing of the email - will check the portal when I get home to see if there’s anything there.
Had a panic attack getting that email after all the DD rejections last week combined with upcoming decisions this week. Anxiety parkour.

Yeah, I guess doesn't look like it requires any action to accept. Weird the way they worded it kind of made it sound like an "offer" that needs to be accepted. *shrug*
pre-II OOS R today!

Haha just trying to open up some spots for waitlisted folks. I'm currently waiting for/negotiating aid so I've narrowed it down to 5 (Hopkins, Pritzker, Northwestern, Colorado, and Michigan) but haven't committed yet.

My guess is that they started to see more people pulling their As before yesterday's deadline and decided to send WL decisions. However, I wonder if they will still meet this Thursday, as the website says they will meet until the end of April. Hopefully movement starts sooner then.

This makes sense except when you take into account they started rejecting people last week from DD. If there’s more withdrawn As than what they were expecting, why would they reduce the number of WL spots? You think they’d keep a full WL if, lets say, 40% of the seats aren’t filled yet. But if it’s closer to say 20% of seats unfilled, then trimming the WL makes more sense, no?
I feel like a round of decisions on Friday/early next week is still in play, but who knows at this point given how this cycle has differed from previous years.
